Water-Lens Magnifiers: a Water-Filled Lamp Bulb and a Drop in a Wire Loop (Boy Mechanic, 1913)

Two lenses made of water: a dead incandescent bulb with its tip removed, filled with clear water and corked, makes a large reading magnifier; a single drop of water held in a tiny wire loop makes a strong pocket microscope for plants.
